Lord, you show me agape love, which is unconditional, freely given, holding nothing back of yourself. What do I offer you in return? A love that, at most, is a friendship love, which is not the total gift of myself, but limited by my selfishness and my fear to totally surrender myself into  your hands.  Even so, you continue to grace me and call me to unshackle my love, so that it can become more reflective of true agape love than limited friendship love. This transformation doesn't happen without cost. It is the cost of the cross, which I am called to embrace in each decision I make. By your grace help me to begin to choose to love in the way you love me.
